    Hi I'm planning to build a KH moment hub on to a Nimbus 19" trials rim
    (36 hole) (ERD:366mm) and I'm wondering if I should build 3 cross or 4
    cross.

    I know 4 cross has greater sideways strength but I've read that when I
    lace (4x) the wheel I might end up with the initial cross of each spoke
    going directly over the spoke head which will create a huge amount of
    stress on the hub flange.

    Has anyone built this setup (note: Nimbus 19" rim is very similar to
    the KH 19" trials rims)?

    Any thoughts on which crossing pattern I should use?

    Thanks in advance.

    4 cross on a 19" wheel is going to be virtually impossible for the
    reason you mentioned. Doing it on a 36" wheel is bad enough. All
    unicycle manafactureres lace all their trials and muni wheels three
    cross, I suggest you do the same.

    Did you ever had problem with 3 cross (if yes, just don't say it 😉 )
    So, 3 cross.
